dozen must have jazz cd s

Pop is not jazz. Congratulations to Shelton for most evolved taste so far. My vote for Shelton as jazz arbiter.

Cannonball-Somethin Else , Sonny Clark-Cool Struttin , Sweets Edison-Simply Sweetes , Chet Baker-Chet , Monk-Brilliant Corners , Ammons-Boss Tenors , Miles-KOB , Hawkins Encounters Webster , Charlie Rouse-Epistrophy , and either Blue Trane or Soul Trane. Jeez that was hard....
